There are now instances where internal hypervisor logic needs to make resource
allocation calls that are protected by XSM checks. The internal hypervisor logic
is represented a number of system domains which by designed are represented by
non-privileged struct domain instances. To enable these logic blocks to
function correctly but in a controlled manner, this commit introduces a pair
of privilege escalation and demotion functions that will make a system domain
privileged and then remove that privilege.
